SPRINGFIELD – The ways of the pandemic could be with us for the rest of our lives.
Getting used to working from home, University of Illinois Springfield professor Ken Kriz is looking at how you and I are spending our money:
“On things like home and home entertainment. Those are up. We are spending on things we can consume at home a lot more,” he told a UIS webinar.
“Restaurants are actually recovering. When I did a presentation on this even six months ago, this was negative. It’s now slightly up. Restaurants have been very inventive about finding ways to stay afloat, with curbside pickup and delivery and things like that.”
Another panelist being nimble is what businesspeople do all the time.
